Thank you , and here are new pics

Thank you all for your kind posts to the "where's Steve". Even though I am very discouraged these days, I wanted to post new pics of Max. He is growing beautifully, and is such a happy baby. You should see the dimples when he smiles!

He just keeps getting cuter and cuter! He looks like such a happy baby! I know how bummed you feel after a visit and leaving him behind! Try not to be sad... I hope all the waiting will soon be behind you and Max will be home in your arms where he belongs.

Take care,
Judy

Steve,
He is very handsome! You must be in the same court that we are in - FC 3. We've been in 11 weeks. I know how hard it is to have pre-approval yet be unable to enter PGN b/c you're stuck in FC.

He is beautiful, truly a smasher! I know how you feel, sometimes it seems so hopeless and especially after you have held them in your arms. I was stuck in pre-approval investigation and it really is hard. Also it gets you kind of scared for all the other processes after that. I am in PGN now and terrified we will get hung up there as well. You just have to ride the bad days with the good.

Good luck
Miranda

Wow Steve, I did not realize your timeline. I am so sorry that you are so stuck. He is really really cute. I know it must be very hard,
